Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Who can tell me what those “flowers” actually are? 10 points to the first to guess correctly… or maybe some awesome prize?

Growing up I have always had someone give me some kitsch object with insects on them, even playing cards. Well even last year I got another insect themed tie.

Daeth ymchwilydd malaria teithiol ar draws an “repeller mosgito electronig” ar werth yn ei gatalog mewn-hedfan. Bod yn ddyn deallus, sylweddolodd mai BS llwyr oedd hwn. Sylweddolodd hefyd fod y cynnyrch hwn yn ôl pob tebyg yn gwerthu orau tra ar y ffordd i falaria . . . → Darllen Mwy: rant nos Sul: y ffordd y dylai pethau weithio.

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disaster… and don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Darllen Mwy: Stupid buttefly of the week Rhannu hyn!One of the perks of being an entomologist is traveling and collecting. I put a few thousand miles on the car every summer and these are two of the best places in Arizona to collect.

Dyma fideo gwych gan guy rwy'n gwybod i lawr yn y CA Southern. Mae ei fideos-treigl amser o gylchoedd bywyd lepidoptera yn eithaf trawiadol, ac mae hyn yn un yn arbennig yn hardd.

If you can tell me this butterfly to species you get a high-five. If you know the subspecies, I’ll send you a new pack of #3 stainless steel pins!

Tough question, but perhaps this is a good time to show off a fun new species. This moth was collected last year outside of Santa Barbara, CA. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → Darllen Mwy: Inaugural post Rhannu hyn! |
